It looks Ok but for the way it has been voided. The 3 holes are a pattern replicated on the common fakes (almost as it they have been drilled rather than cut out). I have an example with the w/m retaining strip so I know that this is OK and they were not always made in brass.
The fact it is brass underneath is very odd. It also differs from the supposed 'economy' version in that the crown is voided.
